Hypelink in PDF not working in viewer

[generiscorp]

The pdf.js viewer doesn't not allow clicking on hyperlinks in PDF documents. I'm attaching a sample PDF - I created a sample Word document with a hyperlink and saved it as a PDF using Microsoft Word. Then opened with https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html and the link is not clickable.

[Uploading Hyperlink.docx…]()

Attach (recommended) or Link to PDF file here: hyperlink.pdf

Configuration:

• Web browser and its version: Chrome 63
• Operating system and its version: Mac
• PDF.js version: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html
• Is a browser extension: No

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Create a document in Word with a hyperlink and save as PDF
2. Open in viewer https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html

What is the expected behavior? (add screenshot) Hyperlink should be clickable

What went wrong? (add screenshot) Hyperlink not clickable.

Link to a viewer (if hosted on a site other than mozilla.github.io/pdf.js or as Firefox/Chrome extension): https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html

Closing as duplicate of issue #9224 (and a multitude of others).

@Snuffleupagus I don't see this as a duplicate, there is no text with www that is not automatically hyperlinked, there is an actual hyperling in the content that works fine from Acrobat Reader and other tools like Brava and Arender. But it doesn't in PDF.js. The referred ticket refers to a different ticket.

Quoting (myself) from https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/9224#issuecomment-348458347, since it applies here as well:

That PDF file doesn't actually contain any links, but just standard text.

Such "links" can work in e.g. Adobe Reader, but only if you have enabled automatic creation of hyperlinks (this setting seems to default to on).

The issue is tracked in #3172, hence I'm closing this as duplicate.

@generiscorp When I click on it with Adobe Reader DC nothing happens.
